In the coastal village of Uttar Banishanta, life was a struggle. The villagers faced numerous challenges, but none was as daunting as the quest for safe drinking water.
One day, the Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) established a reverse osmosis water plant in the village. The plant became a beacon of hope, capable of filtering 10,000 litres of water daily.
The impact of the water plant extended beyond just providing clean drinking water. It sparked entrepreneurship among the villagers, who began selling excess water to markets, hotels, and tea stalls, creating a sustainable income source.
Among these entrepreneurs was Ronjon Mistry. He had grown up watching his family struggle with waterborne diseases, and the arrival of the water plant changed everything for him. With determination, Ronjon started selling excess water to the local market, helping to support his family and improve their quality of life.Now, he is earing 1500-2000 BDT per day that generate solvency in family standard.
We reach out to our generous donors for support, so that together, we can continue to help the local people with the safe drinking water facility.
We would like to thank all our donors for their amazing and continuous support for the coastal deprived people. We are requesting all our donors to start monthly recurring donation by clicking the following link;
